Chapter 979 (2/2)
Donne, who had just raised his hand, turned sadly back to his room.
Tonight's big battle was a complete failure - although his date with Fiona was a success, his most expected bath with egwin failed to come true.
”Anyway, there are still opportunities in the future. It's not urgent...”
The lost Donne could only comfort himself in this way. When he returned to the room, he looked at the moonlight and drank muggy wine.
At this time, he suddenly found several shadows flashing on the distant roof and rushed to the other end of the town.
Snitch?
Donne has a strange face. There are many snitches in the world, but so far, Donne has only seen two. Aurelia is one and Selna is one.
At this time, Donne's heart moved. If he was really a thief, if he could follow the vine and find the stronghold of the thief guild here, he could get the information of the kingdom of saulant.
In prandar, the thief guild is definitely among the best organizations with the most abundant intelligence. They are not only the home of thieves, but also natural intelligence traffickers. They always know local intelligence like the back of their hand.
Thinking of this, Donne quickly changed his clothes, flew out of the window and followed the shadows just now.
At this time, he regretted that he didn't bring Selna out with him. With Selna's strength and reputation, she is firmly determined to have a superior position in the thieves' Guild. If he can take advantage of her identity, he will certainly get a lot of information.
Donne caught up with those people in the blink of an eye. They were moving quickly on the top of the house. They were as light as a swallow. They didn't make any noise when they landed. Their skills were very sharp.
Donne followed them all the way to a farm in the suburb of alcaretia. The farm covers an area of dozens of mu. There are cows and ponies as feet in several dilapidated sheds, next to the cultivated farmland.
From the outside, this is no different from the most ordinary farm. However, after the thieves entered the farm, they blew a few bird calls, and then there were cat calls in the farm, which seemed to verify each other. After three rounds of verification, the thieves standing in the middle of the farm walked into an insignificant hut.
Donne followed directly.
After entering the cabin, as expected, Donne suddenly raised the fireplace of the cabin, revealing a downward passage. Several people filed in, and Donne followed closely.
After a few rounds, several of them appeared in a basement. There were more than ten people in the basement. They were sitting or standing, all covered and hooded. Under the irradiation of the swinging torch, people couldn't see their faces clearly - even if they were the same thieves' companions, they also needed to guard against.
”You're late.”
There was a husky voice in the shadow of the corner. Donne stared at it for a long time before he found that there was a person there.
The man's whole body was curled up in the shadow, as if he were integrated with the shadow. If Donne hadn't been very observant, it would be difficult to even find a person there.
One of the men Donne followed said, ”sorry, we were discussing whether to attack an exotic aristocratic chick at night, so we took a little time.”
An exotic aristocratic chick?
Is that Fiona?
No, although alcaretia is not very prosperous, those noble ladies in nearby cities still like to come here to enjoy the hot spring. It should not be so coincidental.
The man in the shadow said faintly, ”that's your own private business. Do you know what to do when you're late?”
The man sighed: ”... Well, we will turn over half of this month's income to the guild.”
I'll go. Is the punishment of the thieves guild cruel enough?
”The great gibkenseth is on the, and the shadow always protects us.”
The shadow man finally stood up, but he still kept most of his body in the shadow: ”since everyone is here, the meeting will begin.”
attend a meeting?
Donne's spirit was refreshed. He hated meetings, but now he likes eavesdropping on other people's meetings best, because it means he can get a lot of information!
”The main contents of today's meeting are the following three points. First, the intelligence confirmation on whether the ghost agents of the Ilus empire are really expanding their scope of activities.”
Donne was stunned. He didn't expect that the first intelligence was related to himself.
”Second, statistical report on the observation results of anomalies in villages and towns around alcaretia.”
Abnormal surrounding villages and towns?
”Also, the most important third point,” the shadow man paused and said slowly, ”that is... Whether our alcarretia thieves guild branch should accept guild members who escaped from lothemar...”
Hiding in the dark, Donne found that the atmosphere in the whole basement suddenly became much more repressed when the words of rothermal city came out of the mouth of the shadow man.
What's going on?
Where is rothermal? Why did the members of the thieves guild escape from there? Why should we have such a serious discussion about receiving companions?
Donne frowned. He found that he seemed to have overheard very important information.
”If there is no objection, we will start the meeting now...”
”I object!”
